Rabbi Dovid Twersky was the son of Rabbi Mordechai Chernobyl, the founder of the Tolna dynasty and author of Birchat Dovid. This two paged letter is signed by the Admor and expresses his concern and dedication for every one of his chassidim.

He established his court in Tolna, and the thousands of followers who visited him turned the city into one of the largest chassidic centers in the Ukraine. He often travelled to outlying cities and village to spiritually strengthen the Jews in the area. He was famed for his "ruach hakodesh", exorcising dybukkim, amulets, and the wonders he performed. He passed away in Tolna on the 6th of Iyar, 1882.
